Then you need to report that as a False Positive by uploading dnsapi.dll to http://www.clamav.net/reports/fp.  If you joint the clamav-virusdb list you will be notified when it’s been taken care of.

After my first login to that Windows system I rebooted to a Linux Live DVD (NO network connection was made until after booting Linux - which I performed in order to install ClamAV and run freshclam).VirusTotal thinks it's "probably harmless" but Antiy-AVL agrees with ClamAV that it contains a Trojan:https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/b51a82ed2d45855ea9018b6269931ca62f3dc430fd513c7e751fc2cb76014bab/analysis/1455724650/ FYI at least since version 8 of Windows, there is this Microsoft Shop application that enables you to download free/bought software - I'm guessing there might me some code in dnsapi.dll facilitating that feature.
